Anyone know the story on these guys? If you do a search for Phentermine on Google, they sometimes pull up as Pharmacyusamedspa.com and on my end it looks like they're Geo advertising (my state pulls up underneath the ad)

They aslo seem to have affiliates. Do a search on Google for: no perscription required diet pills

NewLunesta.com pulls up and with an affpower template. Their check out url is pharmacyusameds.com. Does Pharmacyusamedspa.com have a Square Trade ID?

I think it's a little interesting to see NewLunesta.com try and squeeze in a few phentermine sales by using mispellings like the one I listed above. If you do the same search phrase but spell prescription correctly, they don't pull up. I wonder how many other sites are out there slipping through the cracks and making a few extra bucks on the side because of it.

I had "in-depth" discussions, both via email and via voice phone calls, with both the affiliate manager/director (Chris) and his techie affiliate manager (who runs dietpills.com)

I personally found that they were friendly & easy to talk to.

But I should say that the affiliate management side of things wasn't making the tech stuff a priority. (Not that they didn't have the capabilty through their affiliate tech manager... he has the skills; but he's just one guy... and the pharmacy management is simply CLUELESS about a wide variety of tech related/ecommerce/SEO-SEM issues).

Thus CO-BRAND related concepts such as: XML/javascript feeds, setting one's own prices, tollfree #s, and other "issues" were common. The one that broke the camels back for me was the cookie/campaign trackability (or lack thereof).

And, there was an ongoing flavor of "evolving the affiliate program" as we went. Specifically an original offer on the website, as well as verbal, relative to them "matching commissions" (and the dollar amount of the commissions in general).

I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea!
They don't seem like "bad guys" by any stretch!
(In the future they may migrate to a more modern affiliate backend & system)

But they aren't the type of partners/affiliate providers that I was used to (and that I need to have).

**

With that said: one would assume that they're Square Trade certified (or else Google has failed to exercise "due dilligence" by letting them advertise prescription drugs via Google's AdWords).

It's amazing what can be pulled from Googspy

I think I know where your coming from because I could swear that sounds like the same people I spoke to once (i think their name was Chris). I had the same impression. I was basically told that there would be no allowance for affiliates to do PPC because they own the territory and paid alot of money to get Square Trade approved. We still had a good talk but nothing came out of it.

I also had a long conversation with Chris back in May before their affiliate program was in place, very business oriented and pleasant person to talk to; but I was under the similar impression for private branding as chopstick pointed out. Good to see them doing well, do keep us posted for any new developments.

Newbius,
I hooked you up with them just after Jive folded. You may already be an affiliate. They are great to deal with and they have a Square Trade seal. They pay consistently by check as well. Their systems are evolving because they are new to this business but they are quite legit.

[NewbiusMaximus]

That's right...I did. I remember now...they were good to talk to, but it was weird...nothing came out of it. I'll probably try again. Thanks Jag.

Thanks for you input ChopSticks. We have made considerable advances since we last talked. We have the set your own retail completed. The xml feed is the next order process to be implemented along with .js file to keep affiliate retail prices in sync with the set your own retail module. The Branded Order form does not need to use cookies. The problem with using cookies is that not all customers will have cookies enabled, so as a programmer the logical solution is to develop a system that is not cookie reliant. Oh by the way Admin can you pm me on details on getting Pharmacy USA Meds set up with the other Pharamacys.

Smokey, glad you are getting things worked out there. I was pretty diappointed when I first signed up. Could not set prices, and what was worse the prices are very high with a low commission. I think I was only making $22.00 on some sales. With a base price of $147 for 90 phen 37.5, it's gonna be hard to compete with the other programs.


Maybe I'll take another look into it and see what has changed. They do pay, so that is a plus!

PillRoller we now have to ability for you to customize your own style sheet.

Im seeing the same prices also.

Cmon guys you cant seriously expect to get affiliates with base prices that high can you???

[smokey]

We have a tiered payout structure depending on your volume. The payout you are reffering to is the 1st tier(lowest payout). If you would like to see the what the other tiers are drop me a pm and I will email them to you. Also, one thing to keep in mind is that this affiliate system was built by a long time op affiliate and your customers / orders are yours period. No selling of data, skimming reorders and other practices some programs have done in the past and PillRolller is absolutly correct we pay every week.

[No Life]

Smokey - do you know if the tier 2 will be retroactive?

[smokey]

I would like to say yes, but the problem with that is we had no way of tracking who reffered who until we made adjustments to the system. Drop me a pm to discuss.

Done.
